Field ServiceOperational Problem3MediumOwner$ implied
The admin system (estimating, invoicing, follow-up) was undocumented and dependent on the owner's memory, making it non-transferable to new hires.
Existing tools like QuickBooks and notes apps are siloed and not designed for contractor workflow, requiring the owner to manually coordinate between them and rely on memory.
